Elite distinction awarded to AARP for a transformed website experience
We are pleased to announce that the AARP Staying Sharp website, designed by TA Digital, is now a proud recipient of the Gold dotCOMM Award 2020.
dotCOMM Awards is a global competition honoring excellence in web creativity and digital communication. The competition highlights the role of creatives in the constantly evolving web. You can view the complete list of this year’s winners here.
AARP, a U.S.-based interest group focusing on issues that affect people over 50, wanted to make their Staying Sharp webpages more engaging with new features, games, and functionality. TA Digital employed an accelerated approach and developed a renewed site experience in line with AARP’s goals.
"I would like to personally thank the entire TA Digital team for helping us launch the new Staying Sharp and UHC pilot programs. The Staying Sharp program is a one-of-a-kind program for AARP. It's the first program that is exclusively offered to AARP members, it's the first program to outsource a majority of development, and it's the first tech stack that produces superior ratings for performance, load times, accessibility, and SEO ranking. We appreciate the countless hours you have invested, all the creativity you bring every day and your continued dedication to this partnership.”, were thoughts from David Watta, Vice President, Staying Sharp, post the project completion.
AARP® Staying Sharp is a program that provides information for users to take control of their brain health. It is a ‘member benefit’ program for those who join AARP and can also be purchased as a standalone yearly subscription without AARP membership.
TA Digital has been AARP’s long-term digital partner helping them in their digital transformation journey. TA Digital is collaborating with AARP on improving their various objectives like brand experience, mobile-first, lives impacted, member activations, and optimizing various applications and sites across the organization.
“AARP realized that Staying Sharp website users, including the elderly and retired professionals, experienced difficulty in site navigation leading to low site engagement. They reached out to TA Digital for help redesigning the Staying Sharp website with modern Adobe technologies. TA Digital not only helped in building and taking the site live, but also ensured performance, security, accessibility, and maintainability parameters were top-notch. Post-launch Staying Sharp has seen a significant increase in member activations, user satisfaction parameters have increased, and the site has been recognized through awards in various forums.” says TA Digital VP of Delivery, Sameet Mandewalker. “I am extremely proud of the TA Digital team and would also like to thank AARP for their continued support.”
